The Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans are competing for the AFC South title, and with 13 weeks completed, the division remains undecided.

The Jaguars secured a decisive win against the faltering Tennessee Titans this past Sunday, and the Texans inflicted upon the Colts their fourth defeat of the current season.

The AFC South standings remained unchanged after Week 13, yet the division is now entirely open for contention as December approaches.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars (8-4)

3. Houston Texans (7-5)

4. Tennessee Titans (1-11)

The AFC South title race is shaping up to be a close one. Indianapolis and Jacksonville currently share an identical win-loss record and haven't faced off yet this season. These two teams are scheduled to play each other two times in December, a series of matchups that could very likely determine the division winner.

But don't overlook the rapidly improving Texans. Houston has now won four straight games and will face Indianapolis for a second time in Week 18. The Texans and Jaguars divided their season matchups earlier in the year.

Following Houston's victory over Indianapolis and Jacksonville's advancement to an 8-4 record in Week 13, the AFC South has emerged as one of the NFL's most fiercely contested divisions. It's probable that two teams from this division will secure playoff berths, though a considerable amount of gameplay remains.

The Colts hold the third spot in the AFC, while the Jaguars are positioned as a wild-card team at number five. The Texans remain outside the playoff picture at eighth place.
